Shen Huantian said with a gloomy face: "If the minister's speculation is correct, they should be inciting the people to make trouble on the one hand, and on the other hand, let the internal officials among the officers and soldiers order severe punishment, which has led to such a serious situation, the king of the princes and princes actually used the lives of the people as an excuse for rebellion, it is really hateful!"

Qiu Yi, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly said: "The Eight Kings rebelled at the same time, it doesn't seem like it was planned now, at least it has been planned for many years, what kind of interests can make them carry things out so secretly, and only now can they seize the opportunity to rebel?"

Meng Zhiyuan also bowed slightly: "Yes, this rebellion is nothing more than to be the emperor, but there is more than one leader among the eight kings, even if they attack the imperial city, it is still unknown who will be the emperor, there must be a great interest that can make them temporarily abandon the contradiction." ”

Everyone bowed their heads one after another, their faces were full of confusion, and even Chen Mou said bluntly: "Forgive the courage of the ministers, although Your Majesty is not a Ming monarch who can open up the territory and make the people live in peace, but he is not as incompetent as the princes and kings say, let alone a faint king, so the reason for the rebellion of the eight kings must have a deeper heart." ”

After Chen Mou's words were finished, Fang Ling lightly spit out a few words: "Three generations are the king." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, like a pelican empowerment, and they suddenly came to their senses, and their hearts admired this young king even more.

The so-called three generations of the royal system is the royal system established when the state of Chu was founded, in order to consolidate the rule of the territory, the prince can be given a fief when he is an adult, and in order to curb the growth of local power, so the throne of any fief can only be passed down for three generations.

After three generations, the country will take back the fiefdom, although its descendants can enter the imperial city to enjoy the imperial treatment, but there is no real power, which is for many local kings, in vain will be three generations of cultivated land and power, only retain a name, this is naturally unacceptable.

Looking at the eight rebellious kings, except for the king of Yizhou, who is a first-generation king, five of the other seven are third-generation kings!

The only way to keep these territories is to raise an army to rebel! And the flood that is rare in a century is the best opportunity to raise an army.

Everyone suddenly realized, Qiu Yi said with a solemn expression: "Your Highness, since they have been planning for many years and have come prepared, the strength accumulated by these three generations cannot be underestimated, and this mere few days have conquered more than a dozen cities, which is quite unstoppable." ”

Shen Huantian thought about it and said in a deep voice: "Now the eight kings are twisted into a rope, one is prosperous, one is lost, it can be said that it is a broken kettle, three generations of hard work, and there are many talents in the country, and now in the name of resisting the riot, with the help of the people, its momentum is as fierce as a tiger, and it is natural to conquer more than a dozen cities in a short period of time." However, His Majesty's troops are distributed in all states of the country, with a vast area and a large number of troops, and the two sides are competing against each other, and the minister dares to conclude that there will never be a result in a year and a half!"

Dong Canghai also agreed: "The minister agrees with Lord Shen's opinion very much, but what the minister is more worried about is not the rebellion of the eight kings, but the strong enemies abroad!" Our country borders Cai in the north, Wu in the east, and Yue in the south, although the war with Cai is the most fierce for many years, but in fact, Wu and Yue have been eyeing each other, so the east and the south are stationed heavy troops, and the local forces are also very strong, and now the eight kings are in chaos, and the border army is preventing foreign enemies from interfering in a foot, and they dare not move, which makes the army of the eight kings unscrupulous, so under the internal friction, the fisherman's profit, must be the three kingdoms!"
